I was expecting somehting that would make me laugh, and make me think. While the book is very well written, it did not meet my expectations.

I did not choose 4 or 5 because I did not enjoy the book. It had such a liberal slant to it, and basically made me feel horrible and unloved for choosing to be a wife. I felt like a dupe. What had I gotten myself into?

I'm sure the facts are accurate, but the reality of wife-hood is not quite that way.

It would be fun to discuss this at book club, though - as other wives and mommies will have lots of different opinions on the book, what it is like to be married, and what the history of marriage means to us as wives today.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this selection.

The book got me a little worked up about the injustices women face. The book reinforced the fact that work at home or work away from home-you are pretty much screwed. What do we do about the dilemna today? On occasion the ideas were explored a little to deeply. Definetely not a help you go to sleep book. All in all, I am glad she took the time to explore this topic, and I am much more knowledgable about womens' issues.
